Berry, Berry late

Hull City were denied a fourth straight league win by Luke Berry's stoppage-time equaliser, just as it looked like the Tigers would hold on for victory, with the game finishing 1-1.   Berry came on from the bench to make use of Bree's corner on 90+1 minutes.   Charlton are now 6th in the table.

City had to grind it out against a side in terrific form of their own,.   The home sidetook the lead early in the second period when Matt Crooks won the ball and fed Leeds United loanee Joe Gelhardt to crash in the opener to make it three goals in as many games.

Inside the opening three minutes, the visitors have two glorious chances from deep crosses to the back post, which City failed to deal with. Ivor Pandur turned the first over from Tyreece Campbell, and the second he blazed over.

Most of us would take the point, seven in a week.

Nathan Jones commented: "It's an outstanding point. If you are any team in the Championship, seven points (from the last three games) is an excellent return.

"We have had to dig in. We made a big error to allow them to take the lead.  To beat Sheffield Wednesday, to beat Ipswich on the road and to draw with a flying Hull is great.

"You can be a bit more upbeat about a seven-point week in the Championship because that is outstanding."
